About The Position

The therapist must live within one hour of the territory and maintain a flexible, non-traditional schedule, including evenings and weekends as needed. Clinicians, together, ensure that clients can access support 24 hours a day, seven days a week, as needed. The role includes ongoing MST training, professional development, supervision, and consultation.
